Blank Looks Elsewhere

July 10, 1986|By Victoria Malmer

Northwestern assistant basketball coach Dave Blank has resigned, but officials say they do not think the resignation was related to allegations he ran a ticket-selling program while at South Carolina. Blank, a former South Carolina assistant coach, told school officials he was leaving his part-time coaching position to ''look into other opportunities.'' There have been allegations by ex-South Carolina players and athletic department personnel that Blank sold complimentary season tickets to boosters and then gave the money to players during former coach Bill Foster's tenure. The NCAA has not decided whether to investigate.
